Where's the stake ...

... Return of the living dead. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

To be fair, the book came out, I think, around the time I got out of high school, and I found it to be a helpful primer as I tried to learn how to write. Has it been overpraised? Yes. Does it have limitations? Most certainly. But it's a hell of a lot better than any grammar book I ever saw in school. In fact, its main virtue is that it is brief, clear, and readable.
